(1 - RUNNING ENGINE TEST NOTES): Engine runs great, starts right up, idle is smooth, and wide-open throttle snap sounds good. Oil quality looks good and there's no smoke from the tailpipes. No unusual noises heard from the operating engine. (2 - POST REMOVAL INSPECTION NOTES): Engine overall looks solid with no major issues found during teardown. Small oil weep around valve cover gasket. The oil pan also appears leak-free. Turbo feels tight with some radial play but almost no axial play, and wastegates have typical movement. (3 - SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE): Replacement of timing components, plugs, injectors, pumps, seals, gaskets, hoses, and filters should be done prior to installation for long-term reliability.

Overall test result

Yes

Start quality

GOOD

Idle quality

GOOD

Output under load

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE SNAP

Oil quality

GOOD

Smoke from tailpipes

NONE

Unusual engine noise

NONE

Turbo notes

A LITTLE WASTE GATE RATTLE IS AUDIBLE

Noted: Small oil weep around valve cover area

Note: N/A

In-car test: Engine runs great, nice idle quality and wide open snap sounds good,. Radiator wasnt hit so coolant supply wasnt compromised. Pending a compression test and physical check this will be a unit.

Out-of-car inspection: Overall engine looks good. Noted small oil weep around valve cover gasket, Turbo has a little radial play but almost no axial play, does have the typical waste gate play. As always, I recommend any service and wear items such as timing chains, belts, guides , tensioners, spark plugs , injectors, pumps, seals, gaskets and filter be serviced before engine is put back into service.
